SA vs Queensland @ Adelaide Oval Sheffield Shield

[wycbloods]

3/275 at stumps

Borgas 56 Cooper 49.

Stumps at 5:45 with 96 overs bowled

[locky801]

oh well split the difference at 5.45 pm

SA at stumps 3/275

Borgas 56*

Cooper 49*

Probably about 40 to 50 short of where they may have wanted to be, but obviously very wary of the last game, Cooper very good in the last session getting the scoreboard ticking along, the others that batted very solid

[MightyEagles]

pretty certain 6pm is stumps

Play starts at 10.30
Lunch is at 12.30 and goes for 40 minutes
middle session is 1.10 to 3.10
tea is 20 minutes
last session is 3.30 to 5.30
an extra half hour is allowed at the end of the day if the 96 overs (90 overs in tests) is not bowled.
Each session is 2 hours.

[mal]

Bloods the great man is 24*
If he gets past 35 runs,I reckon he will make between 100-200 runs
There will be no swing left for the banana benders

MALsturbator you are wrong

Yeah Maxie let me down , piss weak effort !
Today was his most disappointing dig of the season
Maxie hadem on toast and didnt finish em off
84 and made me look stupid ....

3/203
WALTER to BORGAS on 33
There was a vorificous appeal for a legside catch by the keeper
The Bullys went up as one as a noise was heard via the keeper
NOT OUT
A rather portly looking gentleman in the Ian Chappell stand yelled out
""Missing legggggg stump""
A QLD player replied
"" Going for the catch you idiot.""
My Goodness

COOPER
last game v VI
4441444
Today v QL
366424....thats 50 runs with 1 single then1111411341114

THE TURNING POINT OF THE GAME
COOPER on 21
SWAN bowling
Another vorifocous appeal for a catch behind down legside
Everyone appealed including the seagulls who were startled in the process for Swan
COOPER started walking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOT OUT
GeeEEEEEEEEEEEEz I heard the snick from the Chappell stand
The rather portly gentleman dared not comment this time
He did eventually yell out
"" Even I heard that one fellas.""

AFTER THE GAME
The boys who didnt bat today played soccer on the oval about 5 minutes after stumps
Danny Christian had good ball control
Most of them looked skillfull

3/275
SA won the day but were prob about 40 runs short
QL pace trio of SWAN/CUTTING/WALTER bowled ok
DORAN 0/69 I dont think ive witnessed him taking a wicket
He almost had COOPER caught twice early but the spectators near the fence didnt dive

[NFC]

Given the glorious batting of Cooper will be on show tomorrow, I might head down.

[mal]

COOPER is not unlike Ferguson
He comes in and looks a million dollars from ball 1
He has a gift not afforded to too many cricketers, glorious timing
Some of his ondriving is Greg Chappellesque
IF
he continues improving there is a possibilty of an International call up
Lets not forget he is still a very young player

NFC
Its uncanny how we seem to get onboard the same players so often
You are there4 a very good judge of talent !

If we win this game on First innings SA are equal top
Try and bat most of the day TOMorrow is the plan , make as close to 472 as possible

[bloods08]

And if Coops is still there at lunch, we could be very close to 472.

[Rik E Boy]

Bloods the great man is 24*

There will be no swing left for the banana benders

He wasn't too far off. Easy to be wise after the event.

2009-11-08 18:14:47 Over 95.6: Cutting to Borgas, no run, drives to cover and that's it for today

Over 96.1: Swan to Borgas, no run, OUT, Hot here again in Adelaide, it was 30 degrees by 9am - a full ball driven back to the bowler and a good low catch, SA 4/275 Cooper out for 49

Last ball yesterday faced by Borgas with no run, Borgas faces first ball today?? Commentary says Cooper out for 49 yet live scores still have Cooper batting with O'Brien.

Anyone know whose actually out?? I'm confused.....

[westcoastpanther]

Now they've changed it, Cooper out for 49, 4/292

[MAY-Z]

Now they've changed it, Cooper out for 49, 4/292

that is unfortunate as he and smith are the only two players we have that play for 6 points. take those 2 outand we wouldve been lucky to get to about 220 in a full day on a road in hot weather. some peeple on here bag the adelaide oval track for being to batter friendly which i agree with to an extent but out batters also show intent for positive play. it was the same last year until they brought cossie in at the end of the season and we suddnely started winning.

you can not win shield games at adelaide against a decent opposition scoring less than 3.5 an over let alone the miserable rate we scored at for most of yesterday

Maybe we play like this so the opposition doesn't get the 6 points.

MAYZ what you posted is true
BUT
Over a long period of time The Adelaide Oval deck has been less friendlier to bowlers than most other decks in Australia
Its harder for a quota of up to 40 wickets to be taken
By definition that means by all probability less chance of outright victorys compared to other states venues

QL has a huge advantage over SA
The bowler friendly Gabba is a results producing venue
Those same bowlers who are skittling teams in QL come to SA and have us 4/334 at present

Last week we had VIcs scoring 450 in a day
Drawn game still

we may be 4/334 but what chance do we have of winning the game? very little

at least victoria gave themselves a chance of winning by scoring quickly

and with the deck being unfriendly to bowlers why cant we score quicker to at least give ourselves a chance of winning

Agree entirely.
Better off get bowled out for 325 being positive on the 1st day than take a 1 1/2 days to make 400 being ultra cautious.

[jackpot jim]

Bcos we've got players playing for their spot in the side rather than playing for the team.

[westcoastpanther]

Over 123.4: Walter to O'Brien, no run, leaves outside off, interestingly the corresponding game 70 years ago, SA made 7/821 dec (Badcock 236, Bradman 138) def Qld 222 & 377 (Brown 156)

Over 123.5: Walter to O'Brien, one run, drives to deep point, SA were actually 4/553 after Day 1 - a record score on the opening day of a Shield game

[mal]

So why cant the curator produce a pitch with more spunk in it for the bowlers ?
Next SS game let me out on the oval and I will hava piss at both ends
That will liven up the pitch
That can mean
SIDE A 188 + 209
SIDE B 125 + 9/273
The pitch got better on innings 4 when my piss almost dried up

Am I takin the piss outa youse
Yes I am
But you can see my point as well I hope

Lunch S.A. 4/353 (126 overs R/R 2.80 rpo) At this rate they wouldn't get to 553 after 2 days let alone 1.

[Footy Smart]

Geez you lot are fickle.... you have a go when they get bowled out cheaply, then when they do knuckle down and put a price on there wicket you say they are hopeless for scoring slowely!!!!!

The position we are in we will bat for another session lift the run rate declare and have the last session at them.... still enough time to get a result.
